There have been few build-ups to the Jukskei derby between the Bulls and Lions in recent times that have drawn as much anticipation as the imminent contest between the two sides at Ellis Park this weekend.

Tensions within the International Cricket Council (ICC) took a nasty turn this week with its president Mustafa Kamal threatening to expose "mischievious" deeds by some of the cricket governing body’s officials.

The 39-year-old actress first started dating the 'Blurred Lines' hitmaker, whom she officially divorced last month, when she was just 14 years old and she believes she's been forced to grow up since ending their nine-year marriage in 2014.

A new report
released this week also finds that one in five girls who have visited
"thinspiration" sites are between the ages of six and 11.

Dr Emma Bond at the
University Campus Suffolk in the UK estimates that there are between 400 to 500
eating disorder sites, some of them claim 2 600 members, talking about 1 580
topics in different chat rooms across 15 000 posts.

Pro-anorexia websites,
also known as "pro-ana" sites, offer instructions, inspiration, and
tips for an anorexic and/or bulimic lifestyle. Many sites feature
"thinspiration," or photographs or video montages featuring slender
or excessively thin models or celebrities.

Others feature tips
on dieting, with the recommended calorie intake of around 400 to 500 calories
per day; hiding symptoms of anorexia and bulimia from friends and family; or
finding an "anabuddy" for support and advice.

"Eating
disorders are not going away, if anything they are becoming more common,"
says Bond. "We need to alert people to the dangers of harmful content on
the Internet."

She adds:
"Everyone needs to understand better the risks online and the harm that
eating disorders can do to young people."
